Ive been using my iMac, older MacBook Pro and a newer MacBook
Air all with setting up and maintaining my hotspots. I also
have Parallels software on all 3 so I can run Windows if needed
for programming the various radios I use. Motorola and some of
the other rigs I have require Windows or even DOS to program.
These can sometimes be ‘fiddly’ trying to make the software and
radio talk to each other but this has occurred primarily with
older non digital capable radios. A lot of my strictly amateur
rigs use CHIRP which is available for multiple Operating systems
including Mac OS. You can also use boot camp on an intel Mac to
setup a hard drive partition where windows can hang out. I’ve
had no trouble flashing the pi-star software to a micro SD for
use in my hotspots.
